Popularity of the Rose.
Vick's Magazine.

WIN A1dSdLlue.
The sale of roses in this country
amounts to fully 100000 plants a.
year at the present time. There are
no statistics by which the exact num-
Der can be learned, but a knowledge
Of the extent OF cultivation by the
principal propagators enables us to
estimate roughly as above stated.
The probability is that the annual
sale exceeds considerably rattle than
falls short OF this amount. These
plants are almost wholly raised on
their own roots, as budded plants,
which at one time were quite common,
have fallen into disrepute and will
now scarcely command a purchaser.
The popular Judgment in this respect
is no doubt right, and will be sustain
ed. Budded plants. except with some
weak growing varieties, will never
again be in vogue, and the number OF
excellent varieties OF vigorous growth
is so great that delicate growers viii
be discarded tor this fault alone. no
matter what other good qualities
they may possess. The rose is the
most highly priced, and, next to the
geranium, the most generally cultivat-
ed towering plant. These remarks ap-
ply to amateur cultivation. PROBES
sional florists make rose growing a
very prominent part Of their business,
and immense quantities of flowers are
raised during the winter season for
cutting. The statement is MAIDS by
competent authority that In 1885
"the trade sold "a, 900, 900 cut roses.
This indicates, TO some extent, the
popularity Of this particular flower.

Not; a Good Market.

Washington Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
Washington cannot be considered a
good matrimonial market. The young
women do not find husbands easily IN
the society of this place. The proof
Of the fact is that there is hardly a
leading official or wealthy family here
that has not one or two old maids upon
it's hands. This is notably true Of some
of the most prominent and distinguished.
Here are daughters whose fathers have
large wealth and handsome positions.
Yet their daughters, who are thoroughly
trained, we'll hammered and educated
do not find husbands. Whether it ia
that these young ladies aim too high
or not is unknown. Il may be that
their fathers are not able to give them
money enough to set them up in
establishment, equal to their own, and
as natural consequence these young
women may prefer the prestige and
comfort Of their fathers handsome posi-
tons to the obscurity Of marrying an
humble citizen OF the uncertainty
involved in marrying = man who is not
rich / could name ut least twenty
young ladies who have been bellies in
Washington society for at least ten
years. There are very few marrying
young men in Washington. The army
and navy fellows are the principal candi-
dates for matrimony. You may add to
this list thirty or forty haf-starved
attaches Of the different Legations. But
Ill these young men are thrifty and
are looking out for rich wives. The
noble and energetic young man who is
making his own way in the world and
who is growing MP with the country
does not come to Washington. The
men who do come here and who have
money are generally already provided
with family or are beyond middle age,
when men do not act hastily and are
not apt 10 set up new establ ishments or
incur new ties. Tho only real e1igibles
are the widoWers. They are considered
as fair candl dates and every now and
then one Of them succumbs. The
number. however, IS limited, and out
side OF their money aad position would
not Be considered anywhere else as
prizes.

There, outstretched on his diving bed,

the dog outside with his sinister howl

he, the doctor, Doctor Trifulgas him
self HE who is smitten down with
brain fever-he and no other. Full
we'll he knows the symptoms. It is
cerebral apoplexy, with sudden accu-
mutation of serosity in the cavities Of
the brain, and partial paralysis of the
body on the side opposite that where
the lesion exists. Ay, it was for him
that assistance was besought, that one
hundred and twenty fretzers were paid
He who, in the hardness of his heart,

Doctor Trifulgas rayed like maniac,

lungs. Yet he had not lost all concious:
ness OF his desperate strait.
What shall he do? Diminish the mass
of the blood by bleeding? There must
be no hesitation, or Doctor Trifulgas is
dead man. Phlebotomy was still
practiced in Volsinia, and there, as here,
the doctors rescued from apoplexy all
those who were not to die from its
effects.
Doctor Trifulgas sized his case Of
Instruments, took his lancet, and
punctured the vein on his duplicate self.
No blood, however, spurted from the
wounds. He rubbed with all his might
the chest OF the dying one, but he found
that the pulsetions of his own heart dim

hot bricks, but felt his own feet growing
cold.
Suddenly his duplicate starts up in
his bed, struggles wildly in the last
throes of suspended breathing, rattle
is heard in his throat, and Doctor Tlif-
ulgas, with all his science, falls back
dead in his own arms.
The following morning corpse was
found in the house known as the Six
Four-that of Doctor Trifulgas. He
was placed in coffin, and conveyed, in
great pomp, to the cemetry of Luktrop,
after the manner of the many he had
already sent there

A Letter From "Old Tecun,p."
From Washington Letter:

From Washington Letter:
Captain G.. G. Smith, of the treasury
department, lately found among his war
letters the following from General Sher-
man, written soon: after his sob Willie
died at Memphis:
"Gaycso House, Memphis, Tenn,
October 4, 1868. Captain G. G. Smith,
Commanding Battalion Thirteenth U.
S. Regulars: My Dear Friend-I can
not sleep tonight until I record an ex.
preston of the deep feeling of my heart
to you, and to the officers and soldiers of
the battalion for their kind behavior to
my poor child. 7 realize that YOU eli feel
for my family the attachment of Kindred
and assure you Of full recipocrity.
Consistent with q sense of duty to my
profession and officers, could not leave
my post, and sent for the family to- come
to me in that fatal climate, and In that
sickly period of the year, and behold
the result! The child who bore my
name, and whose future reposed more
confidence than did in my OWN plan OF
life, now floats mere corpse, seeking q
grave in q distant land, With a. weeping
mother, brother and sisters clustered

"But Willie was, or Thought he. WAS,
Sergeant in the Thirteenth. Ihava
seen his eye brighten, hi, heart Beat,
as he beheld the battalion under
arms, and asked me if they were not
real soldiers. Child as he was, he, Lad
the enthusiasm, the pure love Of TRUTH
honor and love of country which should
animate all soldiers. God only knows
why he should die thus young. He is
dead, but viii not be forgotten tilt
those who knew him in life have follow

Please convey to the battalion nay

all that if in after years, theycall on me

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

A CHICAGO dispatch says the Knights of
Labor, in pursuance Of their intention TO
exterminate Philip ID. Armour, the great
meat packer, shave placed boycott on
neerly 800 Chicago firms which are using
his goods. A move Of this kind is stu
pendous, and il is one Of the most import
ant ever made on the part OF the Knights
since the establishment of their orgnniza-
ton. They recognize in Armour the
power that crushed them in the
stock-yards strikes, and by fore
ing him TO succumb they think
they would only be exercising iustifablc
retaliatory measures. They do not care so
much about the other influential packers,
but in Mr.. Armour they say they have
found an avowed enemy TO their cause, and
in the hope of crushing him they have not
only boycottcd his firm throughout the
country, but they now propose 10 treat
